The song Anyday was written by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock in 1970 and released in 1971 on the great Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs album by Derek and the Dominos. (Derek was the Eric’s pseudonym.) Duane Allman played slide guitar with Eric on this song (and several others, notably the amazing Layla). Duane Allman was the bandleader of the Allman Brothers Band (he was killed in 1971 in a tragic motorcycle accident). The drummer for the Allman Brothers Band was Butch Trucks.

In 1979 Butch Trucks nephew was born and named Derek. Derek Trucks started playing slide guitar at an early age and formed the Derek Trucks Band in 1994. He toured with and eventually joined the Allman Brothers. He toured with Eric Clapton in 2006.
